Chapter 180 178. The same gift
"I'm going to Minnan in three days, what about you?"
"I'll stay in Kyoto, and I can rest for a while after two shows."
"Haha, have you forgotten that the three of us brothers have a group show on Pearl Channel?"
"Oh, it's over, my class plan will be postponed again?"
Nie Wei and Hu Jun basically chatted when they got together, and their topics mostly revolved around "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and the most important thing was their respective promotional schedules.
However, during the conversation, Nie Wei could see that Hu Jun was more confident than when he was filming. In fact, Nie Wei was the same in Hu Jun's eyes. The popular newcomer at the time has become a hot young actor in the circle today. He has established a foothold in two dramas. Not only is Nie Wei's acting skills outstanding, but in the eyes of outsiders, this boy's luck is too good.
"By the way, this is the gift that Sister Hua asked me to pass on to you. Isn't your birthday coming soon?" At the end of the conversation, Hu Jun suddenly took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Nie Wei, and said it was a gift from Wang Jinghua.
Nie Wei was slightly startled, then calmly took it in his hands.
"I accept the gift. Please, Jun, help me convey my gratitude to Sister Hua." Nie Wei thanked.
"Hehe, big brother hasn't prepared a gift for you yet. I'll give it to you in two days." Hu Jun said with a smile. Nie Wei was also happy to hear this and said, "Then I will prepare one for you, brother, because our birthdays are so close."
"Hahaha."
Seeing that the task had been successfully completed, Hu Jun chatted with Nie Wei for a while and then said goodbye. After all, he came here just to complete an errand task for Wang Jinghua, and to catch up with Nie Wei by the way. There are still people in his real circle waiting for him.
Watching Hu Jun leave, Nie Wei opened the gift box in his hand. Inside was an Omega mechanical watch, Seamaster series, worth about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which is a very expensive gift, but unfortunately, Nie Wei will never wear this watch.
"Hu Jun gave it to you?" Luo Kai saw Hu Jun leave and moved closer to Nie Wei, just in time to see the watch in Nie Wei's hand.
"Wang Jinghua gave it to you." Nie Wei explained casually, but it scared Luo Kai.
"You dare to accept the gift she gave you, aren't you afraid that President Wang will know?" After being surprised, Luo Kai hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"I know my limits." Nie Wei glanced at Luo Kai calmly and explained, "Wang Jinghua didn't give me the gift in person. Her intention is obvious. Now Mr. Wang and Sister Hua are obviously in the honeymoon period, so she is so secretive even when she shows her goodwill to me. She just doesn't want to destroy the cooperative relationship with Wang Zhonglei. Do you understand?"
"So you can accept this gift but can't wear it?"
"Yes, I can accept the gift, but if I wear it, it will be a slap in the face of our Mr. Wang. That's why I told you that I know my limits. And Brother Kai, you are my agent now. I am not panicking when doing things. Why are you panicking? Remember to be calm first when encountering things, and don't make blind and arbitrary conclusions." At the end, Nie Wei's expression was a little serious and reminded Luo Kai.
"Yes, I will pay attention." Luo Kai smiled embarrassedly. He didn't feel ashamed to be taught a lesson by Nie Wei, a young man. Instead, he felt quite educated. This was also due to his conviction in Nie Wei after such a long cooperation.
After handing the gift box to Luo Kai for safekeeping, Nie Wei led his men to quietly leave the banquet hall, and then ran to Wang Zhonglei's office to wait.
While sipping the Mingqian Longjing tea brought by the secretary, Nie Wei and Luo Kai chatted about the new play. About half an hour later, Wang Zhonglei returned to the office.
"There is news from Lu Chuan that the film will start shooting in April. You have to ask for leave in advance." Wang Zhonglei instructed, and at the same time, he looked at Nie Wei with a bit of resentment.
How could he not be resentful? Nie Wei's schooling has always been a hurdle in Mr. Wang's heart. What else should such a good actor learn? Take two more dramas while you are young, and when you become famous, it would be great to find a well-known university to register.
It's a pity that he doesn't understand Nie Wei's needs at all. He went to Beijing Film Academy to make friends and enjoy college life. This was a regret in his previous life, so he had to make up for it more or less in this life.
"Also, this is your birthday present." After reminding Nie Wei of the shooting schedule of "Kekexili", Wang Zhonglei also took out a gift box and handed it directly to Nie Wei.
Nie Wei didn't expect Wang Zhonglei to choose today to give him a birthday present, but he still accepted it readily.
After all, he had accepted Wang Jinghua's gift, so Wang Zhonglei had no reason to refuse it. Besides, he still needed this big man to take care of him for the time being, and accepting gifts was also a sign of closeness.
"Don't you want to open it and take a look?" Wang Zhonglei asked with a smile.
"Okay." Nie Wei did not hesitate and opened the gift in front of Wang Zhonglei, but when he saw what was inside, his face was stunned.
Luo Kai, who was standing by, also showed a look of surprise in his eyes. If he hadn't remembered that Nie Wei had just "taught" him to stay calm, he would have exclaimed at this moment.
Because Wang Zhonglei also gave him a watch, and it was also an Omega brand, but Wang Zhonglei's gift was more generous. Nie Wei had seen this newly released new Constellation series in a magazine, and it was worth more than 150,000.
Nie Wei was stunned for only a moment, and soon he adjusted his state, showing a very satisfied smile, took off the watch on his wrist in front of Wang Zhonglei, and then put on the gift from Wang Zhonglei.
Luo Kai watched Nie Wei's actions nervously. At this moment, he swore that he really caught the joy flashing in Wang Zhonglei's eyes. It was obvious that Nie Wei's actions satisfied the big boss.
"Brother Lei, I like it very much." Nie Wei raised his wrist with a watch and said with a smile.
"As long as you like it, haha."
Luo Kai watched this scene from the side, and couldn't help wiping a cold sweat in his heart. He felt that there was something wrong with the fact that Wang Zhonglei's gift was also a watch and also an Omega brand. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
"Of course there can't be such a coincidence." After coming out of Wang Zhonglei's office, Nie Wei curled his lips and affirmed directly.
"So President Wang is testing you?" Luo Kai asked.
"That's right." Nie Wei nodded: "He definitely wants to see how I stand. It seems that our President Wang is still very worried about me."
"Haha, fortunately, Nie Wei, you are smart and put on the watch on the spot." Looking at the Omega worth 150,000 on Nie Wei's wrist, Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Kai's frightened look made Nie Wei smile. There are actually many meanings behind this watch.
In terms of value alone, the price of this watch is five or six times more than the one Wang Jinghua gave. It is obvious that Wang Zhonglei meant that he could get much more from him than from Wang Jinghua. This can be seen from the fact that Wang Zhonglei kept talking about the movie "Kekexili" in the conversation just now.
Even just now in the office, Wang Zhonglei asked Nie Wei if he wanted to participate in Feng Xiaogang's New Year's film this year, saying that he would reserve an important supporting role for Nie Wei. All of this is undoubtedly Wang Zhonglei's means of winning over Nie Wei.
Secondly, there is no doubt that this watch is meant to hit Nie Wei. Wang Jinghua asked someone to send a gift, and half an hour later Wang Zhonglei could take out a similar gift, which clearly told Nie Wei that the whole company is his people. If Nie Wei wants to play a trick like sitting on the fence, forget it.
So in the office, Nie Wei would wear the watch on his wrist as soon as he opened the gift to show his firm position.
In fact, in the choice between Wang Zhonglei and Wang Jinghua, Nie Wei had a clear goal from the beginning. He would not be like Fan Binbin, the smart woman, who really thought she could play a balance between the two big guys. As a result, she was not pleasing to both sides, and in the end, not many good resources fell on her.
This is also the main reason why Fan Binbin came to prominence after leaving Huayi. Otherwise, with her popularity and image during "My Fair Princess", with Huayi as a backer, she would not have been in the second-tier ranks for several years, while Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru, who debuted with her, had already become first-tier actresses.
Nie Wei did not hide these things himself, but pointed them out to Luo Kai. After listening to Nie Wei's analysis, Luo Kai wiped the cold sweat from his head again. The twists and turns in it really gave him a headache, and Nie Wei actually handled it so correctly and decisively, which made him admire Nie Wei from the bottom of his heart.
A simple gathering was full of power struggles. The short-term surface peace will inevitably bring more fierce conflicts in the future. Nie Wei was waiting for that opportunity to come. That time would be the best opportunity for him to truly get rid of his simple artist identity.
Although he was full of calculations, Nie Wei still didn't like dealing with such occasions. He found an excuse and left with Luo Kai.
"Where to go?" Luo Kai asked in the nanny car.
"Home." Nie Wei gave the only answer. No place is as safe as home.
Luo Kai nodded, started the car, and drove steadily towards the Nie family courtyard. On the way, Nie Wei closed his eyes and rested his mind. Just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, a phone rang, interrupting his dream that had not yet begun.
"Eric Chan?" Seeing the caller ID, Nie Wei was surprised for a moment, but he quickly picked up the phone.
"Edison, hello."
"Hello, Nie Wei." Teacher Chen's unique tone sounded on the other end of the phone: "Did you miss me?"
"Speak to the point." Nie Wei rolled his eyes. This guy's "self-familiarity" attribute must have reached the maximum level, otherwise how could he be so shameless.
Chen Guanxi was obviously used to Nie Wei's "directness". After hearing it, he replied: "OK, I found something interesting and I want to share it with you."
"Oh? I'm all ears." Nie Wei replied lazily.
"Hey, hey, it's really interesting. Can't you give me a warm response about that guy?" Chen Guanxi was obviously very dissatisfied with Nie Wei's reaction, but the "that guy" he mentioned did arouse Nie Wei's interest.
"Xie Tingfeng?"
"That's right!"
